Hey everyone, it's been a minute since I last shared an update. I'm on a mission to revive my 1986 Carrera Coupe, which has been in a deep slumber in my garage since the whole Covid situation began. It's time to bring it back to life, and I'm excited about the journey.

In the good old days, I used to source my parts from Automotion, but here's the plot twist—I called them up today, all eager to grab their latest catalog, only to find out they've shifted gears and are now exclusively dealing in Mercedes parts. Yep, they've bid adieu to the Porsche parts business. Talk about a curveball!

So, here's where I need your collective wisdom. Where are you fellow Porsche enthusiasts getting your parts for those cherished older models? I'm not looking to break the bank at the dealer, so if you have any tips or reliable sources, please do share. Your insights will be the key to getting my Carrera back on the road. Drop me a line and let's keep these Porsches running strong. Thanks a bunch!

Also, what parts are you looking for? Many of us have some parts for G-body cars (some of us have even owned two '86 911s) laying around, although I suspect shipping to India might be expensive.
